Dream Breaks One Day - C165

Wang Bi clearly remembered that his own servant had hurriedly ran in, saying that Princess of West Cold had already been brought into the capital by General Li, that the streets were filled with people who came to watch the fun, and that Princess of West Cold, who was sitting in a carriage, had never been able to see her true appearance.

Wang Su had not paid any attention to his, but in this world, there was one more unlucky woman. It had nothing to do with him.

Even though his mother had left the palace for many years, there were still powers in the palace. Even though he did not like interacting with those people, no matter if they were loyal or not, he had already decided that the relationship between him and the throne was a grudge from his previous life. It was already over, now, he had to work hard for himself. Just be a rich and idle person.

After his mother left the palace, he no longer gave any benefits or rewards to those servants, and refused to accept the network of relationships that his mother had left behind for him. However, those servants still worked so hard to find ways to help Prince Bi find opportunities to think about what they were doing; it could be seen how loyal they were to his mother.

He didn’t know what kind of bewitching soup his mother had given them all those years ago, but they were so focused on power that they had forgotten to be themselves.

The message sent by the eunuch was that Princess of West Cold had already entered the palace and something had happened that night. Even though no one knew exactly what happened that night, because at that time, there was only Princess Ge Ya, the Emperor, and the General Li left in the palace. Then the princess was sent to the cold palace.

With the current situation between the West Cold and the Great Phoenix, even a blind person would be able to tell that Princess Ge Ya was merely a hostage of the Great Phoenix. Naturally, there was nothing to be surprised about.

Not only did he infuriate the emperor, even if the Princess of West Cold were to take out a blade from his bosom, it would be understandable for him to want to take the life of the emperor.

However, the eunuch spoke of this matter with extreme caution, as if there was something strange about it that no one else could see. He spoke with extreme seriousness …

“Although no one has seen this Princess of West Cold’s background and no one has seen if she’s like the fabled fishes and ducks, even the close nanny has no way of knowing that she’s wearing a veil from head to toe. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the princess is especially afraid.”

Scared? Wang Bi was also unable to understand this phrase. Why would she be afraid? Would it be better to come here with hatred as he had expected? Wasn’t it supposed to be filled with hatred and sorrow? In his impression, the people from the West Cold were all uninhibited and uninhibited, with pure intentions?

He could not imagine what kind of person this Princess of West Cold, who he would feel fear, was.

The other problem was that if even she was afraid, then why was Wang Su still angry? To a proton, the best request was simply to properly entertain her here, to control the distant activity on the land. Unless it was absolutely necessary, what was there to be angry about?

Not to mention dealing with a girl who was scared.

Wang Bi did not think about it, but he was unwilling to investigate further. In the end, he only wanted to become a rich and idle person, and was not willing to understand other matters of the royal family, even more so when it came to matters of the emperor’s mind. He was different from his mother after all, even though he had to enter the palace everyday, he was still eager to leave this place, and his mother, even though she was not in the palace right now. He was still trying his best to collect clues about the palace, hoping that one day, his son would be able to win the throne.

She had been wrong from the start. How could he have such thoughts now?

The eunuch who reported the news saw that Wang Bi was not paying attention to his information and was naturally a little disappointed, but he could not do anything about the idle prince. He could only find an opportunity to gather new clues. After repeatedly warning them, he had no choice but to leave the prince’s estate and return to the palace.

It seemed like her life was destined to be a tragedy. Ever since she moved into that small and remote courtyard, she had never seen the Emperor.

However, after Princess Ge Ya obtained it, she changed her mind and even ignored her. It seems that our Emperor was also just a playboy with a lot of power.

People in the capital were talking about this matter, and even the teachers in the tea garden were gossiping about it. Perhaps they felt that they had too much brains, so they were not afraid of being cut.

Wang Bi naturally did not have the leisure to listen to these idle chatter, although he felt more or less depressed in his heart.

Until he was willing to understand the next step of the story was also because of his mother’s scout in the city. He said that every month, there would be people of the emperor disguised as commoners and headed towards the West Cold, seemingly searching for the whereabouts of someone. However, all of this was done in secret. However, every month, there would be people sent out, as well as letters from the people sent out earlier.

This aroused Prince Bi’s curiosity in the end, and he decided to go to the palace to investigate.

The road the young eunuch was talking about was extremely remote and practically no one would be able to move within the palace. They had already entered the palace’s extremely secluded area, and other than the surrounding birds, all they could hear was their own breathing.

However, Wang Bi felt that something was strange. This quiet and secluded path was not unfamiliar to his memory.

He had been here before … A long, long time ago …

It was a small house, almost to the end of the palace. It was exceptionally lonely, surrounded by tall walls. It seemed small and constrained.

He had not been here for a very, very long time. According to his memories, this place was probably a mess, but he did not expect that after passing through a palace wall, this place seemed to be even more orderly than the wastelands on the way here. The two words “Plum Court” were cleaned up and hung neatly at the entrance of the courtyard.

The courtyard was already filled with flowers, and a woman was lazily lying on a rattan chair with her back facing them. For a moment, it was hard to tell if he was inside the heavily guarded palace or in a remote and free farmyard outside the palace.

When he saw the woman lying on the rattan chair, he immediately understood more than the message that was sent by the young eunuch.

All doubts were explained in the most reasonable manner.

That woman was especially beautiful. Even those who were experienced and knowledgeable had to admit that she was a beauty that they had never seen before. She opened her eyes under the sunlight with a frown, as if she was an otherworldly fairy.

But that woman … She couldn’t be Princess of West Cold …

He had interacted with quite a few people in the West Cold and was naturally familiar with those people with high noses, big eyes, and golden hair. However, this Imperial Noble Lady Ya was dressed completely like the people of the Central Plains …

She’s a substitute for…

This voice sounded heavy in his head. He did not know what had happened, did she have to come to the Great Phoenix to be a substitute for the Princess of West Cold? Or was it voluntary? And why volunteer?

She was clearly from the Central Plains, so why was she born in West Cold? What was her relationship with the princess?

At that moment, many questions popped up in his mind, one after another. However, he still held it in and didn’t ask any of them.

Against the light, he gave the woman a smile.

Since the emperor did not kill her, and did not direct his anger towards the West Cold, it was naturally impossible for Wang Bi to know the reason behind it, but more questions popped up one after another.

The emperor had placed her at the edge of this region. Within the rarely seen Plum Court, he had cut off all communication between her and the people of the palace, preventing even more people from knowing that she was not a Princess of West Cold. But why would he do that?

He frowned. For a moment, he could not come up with such a reason. However, in his heart, he felt a secret of the Great Phoenix Emperor.

He did not ask that woman any questions. He did not want to say anything, so he just chatted casually until dusk before leaving. Although it was just a few simple chitchat, he could feel that the woman was not simple and had experienced a lot. He could vaguely feel that she was the same as him, but he couldn’t say it.

When he turned around to leave, it actually made him sigh with emotion that was hard to come by …

He had never mentioned the woman to anyone, and it seemed to have become a secret of the Emperor and of himself. Mother’s spy came over to greet him, and Lord Yin Tai even brought up the matter. He wanted to know the reason behind all of this, and even if he managed to find a trace of the Emperor’s wrongdoings, all he could do was smile slightly and remain silent.

He knew that woman would become a weakness of the Emperor. Perhaps it was due to him finding an excuse, but the sooner he mentioned her, the more harm she would cause the Emperor. If he waited until the Princess of West Cold’s reputation had already passed, then it would no longer matter if the Emperor hid anything from the people of the world.

He also understood what those people who had secretly gone to the West Cold to search for were looking for … is the real Princess of West Cold …

He was unwilling to say that he would sometimes think of that woman. He didn’t know what kind of torture she would suffer in the depths of the palace with her free personality.

His mother’s servants came to report to him one by one. He just sat in his chair and listened, never taking it seriously.

He rejected the opportunity to impeach the Emperor or his people again and again.

That throne wasn’t that attractive to him, and the person on that throne was, no matter what, the younger brother that he had walked over to by hand …
